  <link>http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/paper/html/id/938/A-negotiation-based-Multi-agent-System-for-Supply-Chain-Management</link>
  <description><![CDATA[This paper describes an ongoing effort in developing a Multiagent System (MAS) for supply chain management. In our framework, functional agents can join in, stay, or leave the
system. The Supply Chain Management System (SCMS)
functionality is implemented through agent-based negotiation.
When an order arrives, a virtual supply chain may emerge from
the system through automated or semi-automated negotiation
processes between functional agents. We present our
framework and describe a numbe...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Modern cryptographic objects are used in solving an ever-growing, increasingly diverse set of problems such as authentication, digital signatures, and privacy. Our research applies such objects in novel protocols for secret-key agreement and digital signatures and in a new security infrastructure for agent communication languages.

In Part I of this dissertation, we explore relationships among algebraic and security properties of cryptographic objects. Based on ideas proposed by Sherman, we...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[We address the issues of semantics and conversations for agent communication languages and the Knowledge Query Manipulation Language (KQML) in particular. Based on ideas from speech act theory, we present a semantic description for KQML that associates "cognitive" states of the agent with the use of the language's primitives (performatives). We have used this approach to describe the semantics for the whole set of reserved KQML performatives. Building on the semantics, we devise the conversat...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[We propose a new specification for the Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language  (KQML). KQML is a language for communication between software agents. KQML offers a variety of message types (performatives) that express an attitude regarding the content of the exchange. Performatives can also assist agents in finding other agents that can process their requests. Our starting point for specifying KQML is the ARPA Knowledge Sharing Initiative's Specification of the KQML agent-communication lang...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[We address the issue of semantics for an agent communication language. In particular, the specification and semantics of Knowledge Query Manipulation Language (KQML), and the logical architecture of KQML--speaking agents are investigated. KQML is a language and protocol to support communication between (intelligent) software agents. First, we present a new specification for the KQML language that corrects a number of outstanding problems. Then, based on ideas from speech act theory, we propos...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[We investigate the semantics of Knowledge Query Manipulation Language (KQML) and propose a semantic framework for the language. KQML is a language and a protocol to support communication between software agents. Based on ideas from speech act theory, we propose a semantic description of KQML that associates descriptions of agents' cognitive states with the use of the language's primitives (performatives). We use this approach to describe the semantics for the basic set of KQML performatives. ...]]></description>
